I'm astounded you guys even think Fox and Hurney will still be around when Delhomme hits 40 to even fall through with that...

I'm not a Fox/Hurney hater, but even I know that Fox and Hurney's jobs aren't THAT safe.

5 years is a long time.. and if Fox/Hurney go anytime before year 3 of that contract, call that contract terminated. The new coach will bring in his boys.

keep in mind he's a top flight athlete and a physical specimen even though we don't think of him that way. he's a year older than manning and yet has less than half as many passes in his career. he's been relatively very healthy and never asked to do a whole lot. he had hardly any wear and tear prior to joining the Panthers.

he's got a top of the line training staff. barring another horrible injury, there's no reason to think he's just going to develop arthritis, especially now that he's playing behind one of the best lines in the league.

........and yet his elbow was gradually tearing apart until 2007 where it just completely blew up.

he had a nagging injury that was blown up by a direct blow from john abraham. before that he obviously wasn't having any problems with it.

let's not pretend he was cooking beans when it happened or something.

..yes he was...

"The last couple years, the elbow was really giving me problems and I was playing through them. I'm not sure how long I could have gone on like that. But the elbow's stronger than it was before and it's going to be better than it was before. I think this has probably added some years onto my career."

He was having problems...they were just not to the point of surgery until the UCL went.

I am loling however at the drama queens who post stuff along the lines of OMGZ!!1111 It's a 5 year contract..WE WILL NEVER GET RID OF HIM EVER EVER EVER BECAUSE HE WILL BE STARTING FOR FIVE MORE YEARS BECAUSE OF THE INSANE LOYALTY OF HURFOX AND THE FO WILL NOT DRAFT ANYONE. WE ARE TEH DOOOOMED. Helluva crystal ball y'all got there.

can you tell me what he meant by "problems?"

can you tell me what his numbers at the beginning of the 2007 season mean?

Wait, you said "his elbow wasn't giving him problems" and I gave you a direct quote where he himself said the exact opposite. As for what he meant? Ask him, you live closer to Charlotte than I do.

well, since the numbers were during the first three games, tells you a bit about the fact that maybe during the course of those three weeks his arm weakened. By the Atlanta game he didn't get a lot of yards passing before he got hurt. He wasn't throwing all these passes in the preseason, and combine all the throws in practice he would've made, + warmups and whatever else with what he threw in the games.

but Jake has always been somewhat streaky. A couple of good games, a few bad games in a row. Can you honestly say he would've maintained a 64% completion pctg, 2+ TDs passing a game and a 100+ QB rating an entire NFL season? Can anybody say that?
